What Fluke Calibration does

Fluke Calibration is a division of Fluke Corporation, founded in 1948 and headquartered in Everett, Washington, that designs, manufactures, and supports precision calibration instrumentation and software for electrical, temperature, pressure, flow, humidity, and RF measurement domains. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortive Corporation (NYSE: FTV) following Danaher's 2015 spin-off of its test and measurement segment. Its product portfolio spans high-precision bench multimeters (8588A), multi-product calibrators (5560A), field metrology wells (9142), automated pressure controllers (6270A), documenting process calibrators (754) with HART protocol support, and a full line of temperature, humidity, pressure, flow, and RF calibration instruments. The software layer includes MET/CAL-compatible calibration automation, the CalStudio cloud-based calibration management platform, and the Fluke Connect connected-reliability platform for wireless data transfer and remote asset monitoring.

The business serves calibration laboratories, industrial process manufacturers, energy and power facilities, and data centers globally across 70+ country/region sites, with customer segments prioritized by use case around traceable, ISO-compliant measurement. Fluke Calibration generates revenue through five streams: hardware sales of capital calibration equipment, professional calibration services and MET/SUPPORT programs, software licenses and subscriptions (CalStudio, Fluke Calibration Software), recurring Premium Care service plans with multi-year contracts, and calibration training and certification programs. Pricing is quote-based for enterprise accounts, with a Trade-In program offering up to 15% savings on new equipment. Distribution runs through direct enterprise field sales, an authorized global distributor and reseller network, and a self-serve e-commerce storefront at shop.fluke.com. Marketing is executed through content (Resource Center blog, case studies), video (YouTube Fluke Pro Tips), webinars, Fluke Events and tradeshows, organic social, email, and SEO, targeting top- and mid-funnel engagement with calibration professionals.
